What People Say About Us

Client Testimonials

"Jonathan helped my family out with a child support, visitation and then adoption case. He was always professional, compassionate, and patient. He prepped me for hearings and helped me during hearings as needed. Jonathan and his staff were very helpful and answered all my questions with grace. They were always trying to look out for my/my child's best interests. He and his office staff were the best and I highly recommend them for any child support, visitation, and/or adoption needs. This has been the best lawyer experience I have had. I am extremely thankful for Jonathan and his staff.”
ChristineFormer Client
"Jonathan was extremely kind and responsive every question and I am so grateful to have him represent me. My case was very high stakes for me and he got me one of the best outcomes I could have hoped for. He was a responsible steward of my money and I can’t thank him and his team enough for helping me and keeping me informed every step of the way. My only regret is not finding him sooner."
JamielFormer Client
"Mr. Tanaka is the best family attorney that I have worked with. I have seen him multiple times over the past three years for legal advice and recently retained him to handle my custody case. Excellent communication throughout the process. When I initially filed for divorce, I hired one of the big firms and was essentially ignored for five months. Mr. Tanaka accomplished the same volume of work in less than a quarter of the time."
JohnFormer Client
"Words cannot fully convey the extent to which I am impressed with Jonathan. I feel a deep sense of gratitude, pride, and happiness for having chosen him as my attorney. What sets him apart is his remarkable ability to listen attentively and communicate with clarity and concision. He is incredibly detail-oriented, which gave me confidence that my case was in the best hands possible. (I was right!) Additionally, his kindness and empathy have been a source of comfort during this challenging time. I cannot emphasize enough how highly I recommend him."
OliviaFormer Client
"Mr. Tanaka was kind, patient, professional and super helpful. He removed the stress of divorce off my shoulders and handled it all very quickly and never made me wait to have any of my questions answered. He was communicative and honest throughout the entire process. Thank you again!!"
StaceyFormer Client
"Jonathan represented the opposing party at my hearing and he was incredible to watch. My attorney assured me Jonathan was “too new” to do a competent job but my attorney was both wrong and unprofessional. Even though Mr. Tanaka was technically against me, I have to give credit where it is due. Based on what I saw, I would have retained him in an instant and for a higher price than what I paid. No hard feelings, just great respect for his work ethic"
AmandaOpposing Party
"I have nothing but good things to say about Mr. Tanaka. My wife and I have never been sued before so this was definitely a new experience. Over the last year we worked with Mr. Tanaka regarding a Landlord/tenant dispute. He was nothing but a professional the whole time and was always there if we needed him. Words to describe him would be intelligent, clear communicator, down-to-earth, empathetic, and confident. We were extremely impressed by him in the court room during our final hearing. It definitely payed off having Jonathan in our corner. If you need someone to represent you in any capacity I highly recommend Mr. Tanaka!"
CalebFormer Client
"He was an amazing attorney and helped me a lot through out my case and I definitely recommend him. He doesn’t make you feel like a client but more like family and gives you amazing advice and always points you in the right direction!"
BayleighFormer Client
"Mr. Tanaka assisted me in a Renters Right small claim that ended in a big way. During our initial consultation, Mr. Tanaka immediately understood that I had a case whilst other law offices insisted the law would side with rental company. Mr. Tanaka really listened to my concern/complaints; repeated what I said and answered my questions; stayed in communication; also is very affordable. During court, Mr. Tanaka was confident in his speaking; stayed on topic; asked ever qualified question; noticed the inconsistencies of the other party, and did not let up. He executed perfectly! We won the case and my justice was very much served. Thank you again for your assistance"
